In Southeast Asia's infamous poppy-growing heartland known as the Golden Triangle, drug warlords have begun producing large quantities of a methamphetamine -- known as "crazy medicine" -- that is rivaling the traditional trade in heroin and prompting the U.S. military to quietly train an anti-drug commando unit in Thailand.

Narcotic Leaf the Key to Yemeni Life in Britain |
| July 15, 2001
|
Forum member Rock sent me this interesting article on Qat, a mild stimulant that is used widely in Yemen, and imported to England (where it is legal -- opposed to the USA, where it is classified with Heroin and Cocaine). The green Qat leaves and the most tender parts of the stem contain cathonine, a natural stimulant which produces a mild high after prolonged chewing, but which breaks down and loses it potency after 48 hours. It also gives an interesting peek into Yemeni culture within Britain. Interesting stuff.
